Custom Exports allow you to pull applicant data points from any position and stage into a spreadsheet format (CSV). You can customize what data you export for a wide variety of uses, like:
- 'T-Shirt Size', 'Name' and 'Location' for worker uniforms
- 'Name', 'Phone Number' and 'Email' for workforce scheduling systems
- 'Name' and 'Address' for W-9 paperwork

Prevent Excel from Incorrectly Altering your Data
When performing CSV exports in the product, Excel, Google Sheets, or other software programs may automatically convert the data provided to dates and/or numbers. This can potentially cause numbers that begin with 0 to be updated. For example, if a routing number is listed as 000234123, Excel may translate that number as 234123.
If there are values in your CSV that fit this criteria and may not be translated correctly, visit this resource for steps on preventing Excel from automatically altering your data.
